Went inside and asked for a table, they said we could sit anywhere. It has past 15 min and no waitress has come to serve us so we left.

Great food and drinks for a quick bite. Elevated sports bar atmosphere with indoor and outdoor seating. We got the Shrimp Flatbread, plain wings, Caesar salad with grilled chicken, meatballs, and frittes and all was delicious! The service was good because we were seated 5 minutes after opening but the restaurant filled up very quickly. Go eat there!

Cozy little spot to enjoy the hotel harbor. The service is very pleasant, and everyone greets you in Italian which is a comforting touch. Sitting on the patio Saturday 7pm, and it feels much like 7pm in Italy, breezy and calm, prior to the evening rush. Their menus are quite satisfying with a decent variety of wines, signature cocktails, a substantial number of bourbons, with flight options and even cigars! A light variety of food options with a little something for most. Bites, burger, salads and flatbreads; they even have fish and chips. I opted for a cheeseboard with my wine and it did not disappoint.If you're looking for a meal or just a sip and some people watching, The Thirsty Fish is a solid choice.Also, you don't have to be staying at one of Universals hotels to come visit! Just look for the water taxi at the end of City Walk, hop in the lane for Portofino Bay, and enjoy a refreshing boat ride down to Orlando's own Italian harbor

The Italian old fashion is really good. Great atmosphere and service was excellent. Highly recommend for drinks and light food.

Loved this place during our stay. The espresso Martinis were great. Loved that I could enjoy a cigar on a nice night with live music. My wife and I recommend it and will be back. Lauren was our waitress and she was very welcoming.

This bar is located on a piazza next to a created harbor with a beautiful view. Peaceful and relaxing. Good cocktails and a somewhat limited menu (mostly Italian to go with the theme of the resort). However, there are several restaurants just steps away in which to dine. The staff are the best!!

Was in here Christmas eve. The services was great and the Italian old fashion was a personal favourite. Will be going in for 1 or 5 on every visit to Florida.

We had a cheese plate appetizer and antipasto appetizer, my wife had a hamburger and my daughter had a turkey club. I tried and enjoyed the liqueur flight. The service was good.
I'll give this place a 3 1/2, we just got into the resort after a long day and needed a snack and a drink before we ventured on. This seemed nice, outside on a great day, next to the Italian bay. Prices are what you expect from a Disney resort. Not much of a menu, more just bar items, which is fine. We had the anti pasta plate, not bad, not amazing, but we ate it all. The service was a little slow, not sure if they were understaffed, it wasn't busy, or they just try to keep it in that lounge mood.Overall, not bad, nice little stop to watch the water and sunset

The Thirsty Fish is located at Loews Portofino Bay Resort. It is a small bar with both indoor and outdoor seating. Food is good, drinks and employees are excellent. Sat at the bar each night of our trip to watch the mlb playoffs. Only complaint is they don’t open until 5pm.

If you are staying at the Portofino Hotel, you will get to know this place! They call last call a little early, but the service is great. You overlook the water and could not get better people watching.
